which brand are we already talking about? :rolleyes:
DSCF3152.jpg

that a long time that i went to buy a portugese, and today i do it!
i order one by HONTWATCH because i know it s a trusty dealer and he offer very good price. He sale me this one 200$+20$ shipping, that s really a good deal! the greatest difficulty for me is to select the dial, they are all superb! I have taken as you see white and black, infact rather mettalic gray and black . the dial is all the buety of the portugese and my pictures really doesn t give justice to him.
i order a HTKAN croco strap, but i doesn t have it yet, but I must confess have been very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the factory bracelet. it s really not bad!
the size is 40mm but it s not really little like you can feel with a navi for exemple, because she s 47mm high.
here is the pictures from the best dressing watch for me!Strongly my next one white and gold dial will be great

Thx for sharing, this wathc belongs to those I've desired since the beginning.
And I would have chosen the exact same dial, as I feel the pther (especially black) suffer of a lack of A.R. On white it's less noticeable.

Do you know if you got the socalled "new" version that "would" resolve the movement problem all 7750 with seconds@6 need ?

I'd buy it in a minute, if only I was sure about the movement...

Very nice strap as well 8)

thanks all for kind word
no i m not sure is reliable for the new one, at today i prefer 200$ for watch and etwa 130$ for a graphit lubrification than 280$for the 29jewels and maybe 130$ for... graphit lubrification. futur will be say the true about the new one. and the next protugese will be maybe one of it

Looks great, very classy and timeless.
I hope you have good success with the movement, I have not heard great news about the seconds at 6 movements.

i didn t have the watch anymore, the best way is a graphit lubrification, cost 90$ if i remember, for mine the problem was a chrono defect, so he change spring and some different piece, i pay him 60$, and was not expensive because he loose a lot of time on it!!
